Obama just finished. Said he spoke with Sgt. Crowley

[Notasoccermom]

That’s not the Professor Gates that I knew.”

[P-Marlowe]

Obama just finished. Said he spoke with Sgt. Crowley

Yeah, I'd have to say Obama is finished.

Too bad this didn't occur in October 2008.

[aragona]

The reason he called the cop is because he wants the police union votes. He doesn’t need to call Gates since he already has 90% approval of blacks. With O its aleways political and about him.

[dirtboy]

*O* messed up badly by calling the cops “stupid”. He blew it again today by still referring the incident as “racial”.

He's in a pickle. Recant, and the victimhood sect will go bonkers. Stick with his original statement, and he gets skinned among independents. And there is only so much the media can do to deflect this.

[NormsRevenge]

Bigtime. Yup. Why he chose to even answer that question speaks volumes to what his true motives were and are.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

"For the men and women of Rev. Wright's generation, the memories of humiliation and doubt and fear have not gone away; nor has the anger and the bitterness of those years.

That anger may not get expressed in public, in front of white co-workers or white friends. But it does find voice in the barbershop or around the kitchen table. At times, that anger is exploited by politicians, to gin up votes along racial lines, or to make up for a politician's own failings.

Sen. Barack Obama's speech on race, March 2008

[Deb]

Well, we learned some more about him.

[keepitreal]

And the press keeps asking questions of Gibbs. Guess Obama didn’t provide enough of a “teachable moment” to the press, i.e. “I have told you to forget about it, now forget about it”.

[Batman11]

“race is still a troubling aspect of our society whether i were black or white”

You are both you idiot! Why not just STFU!

[Palladin]

Obama is an idiot. He’s digging himself in deeper every time he speaks outon this. His approval ratings are going to sink this week.

[roses of sharon]

RELEASE THE TAPES OF THE ARREST!

[kevkrom]

See tagline

[TexasCajun]

I hate this Press Corps!

It's always one big happy Obamah Sing-A-Long!

It's really their LOL moments, right on que that bugs me most.

[NormsRevenge]

You must be a typical white person.

—

If typical includes having a black man as my best man.. Yup, Guilty I am. ;-)

[KansasGirl]

But Gibbs said today that Obama doesn’t care about any of this because the Fraternal Order of Police endorsed McCain. Exactly how that is relevant, he didn’t make clear.

[Danae]

Maybe the apology is with the Long form Birth Certificate?

[PhiKapMom]

It was so obvious it was a set-up question which makes this even sweeter.

[aquila48]

Gates - head of black studies at harvard.

Must have a chip on his shoulder the size of a redwood.

These guys are perpetually angry and all they do in their classes is stoke anger.
